Man, if our young guys like Brodin, Coyle, and Granlund pan out like they should we are going to be realllllly good soon. Is something good about to happen to a Minnesota sports team? This is so confusing.

Of course there is. Ricky'll be back next season.

Suter to Detroit made a bunch of sense, sure, but you guys have to stop expecting to be everybody's preferred destination.

Ex ******* actly. Not Xio, but a whole bunch of other Wings fans on the web. Just like it is with Carle, Yandle and Nash right now. They just assume they are going to end up with one of them, it's just a matter of how.

Whose to say Weber was the one holding that pairing up and not Suter? I'm interested to see how Weber does without Suter as well.

That's possible. I won't rule it out. But at least with Weber there are very obvious aspects of his game you can point to as to why he'd be successful in any situation — booming slapshot giving huge power play advantage and elite size, strength and physicality.

As a guy who watched Lidstrom play 20 magnificent seasons without being flashy or physical, I obviously have respect for Suter's arguably similar style. The only thing I was trying to articulate earlier was that when signing a THIRTEEN YEAR contract at huge money, there are inherent risks. For a team like Minnesota that's building up from a lower starting point than the Red Wings, that risk makes more sense to take.

Every single fan base everywhere for every sport thinks too highly and positively of their team. The most vocal people are usually the most ill-informed. It's like listening to any sports talk radio station. The only people who feel compelled enough to call in to be heard are the outliers and the ones with the most extreme opinions — They don't proportionally represent the degree of intelligence of a fan base.

Trust me, if you guys followed me on Twitter, you'd see how many idiots I've have to combat with their senseless line of thinking about the Wings in the last five days. But there are stupid, stupid people everywhere.
